Drama Workshops

Our improv workshops are a great way to engage the theatre muscles with a group. We explore gibberish, how our bodies can shape our characters, "interview" games and telling a story using our actor tools.

Everything we do encourages confidence, public speaking, quick thinking, creative dramatic expression and FUN!


Open to all students 1st-8th grade and all experience levels. Each workshop is individual, unique and self-contained. Many students come regularly.

If you are looking to create a class for a homeschool group, a pod or an after school program here is a sample of the classes I have taught.

Improv

Using a combination of traditional skill building improvisation and modern improv games we create an ensemble of confident quick thinkers. Students learn to use their bodies, voice and imagination to express characters and story. We explore gibberish, how our bodies can shape our characters, "interview" games and telling a story to encourage confidence, public speaking, quick thinking and creative dramatic expression. 

Acting Shakespeare

Using a combination of original text and narration, students build a love of Shakespeare by performing it as actors. We explore these timeless stories and amazing language and find ways to translate the stories into meaningful themes from today.

Public Speaking

Destroy the fear of speaking in public in a fun lighthearted environment. I use improv games to open them up to each other as a group, then we will explore different types of speeches: demonstrative, informative and impromptu. We will also create a You Tube- style show.

Storytelling

 This is a great class for early and pre-readers. K-2 Using dramatic expression, students will work in groups to retell fairy tales and traditional stories. We will explore all the elements of storytelling: setting, character and plot. Builds confidence and dramatic expression.
